Got the emails out and the date has been set for December 13-16. With the way turkey day falls this year the trip was pushed back a couple weeks. This is definetley the latest we've made this trip but I'm sure the fishing will not dissappoint :thumbsup: Its kind of crazy that we are going on our 5th year this time. Oh how the time has flown by making memories on the hard deck at Henry's :icefish:
-
I can’t wait to get up there and catch the big one that got away last year.
-
Thanks for doing the footwork Matt. I am getting excited for the new season.
-
Good luck, it's starting to look like a snowy year.
-
I am getting excited for the new season.
Really Joe? You getting excited about ice fishing? Who'd a thunk it. :thumbsup:
-
Thanks Matt,
Looking forward to another fun trip to the pond, probably be safe ice for sure this year... wouldn't doubt they start fishing the hard deck by early November this year... just seems like a cooler fall than many of the recent ones... Fishing up there this fall seems to be active, but not monsters, so hopefully we'll have some fun, and the big ones will wait for us to show up.. Such a fun lake to fish, ya just never know what will grab a hold up there... Later Jeff

Hey its no prob guys and yes Bob your right, Joe getting excited is really a year round thing but hey I'm pretty sure most of us are the same. Ice gear gets put away but from that point on its like when will I pull it back out????
-
Really Joe? You getting excited about ice fishing? Who'd a thunk it. :thumbsup:
It’s just that every year I think it might be the best year ever. Woke up this morning to rain and wind and decided to work in the man room. Made about 1000 new jigs for the many adventures upcoming! Look forward to seeing you all.

Joe, I need to stop by soon and take a look at all of those jigs you made!
-
If I was in that area Joe would proabably have to get a restraining order to keep me away :roflmao: :roflmao: Too much stuff to mess with :woot: :woot:
-
You guys are always welcome. I just put my wife on a flight to DC and will be playing in the man room for the next few days.
-
I sure hope your making some of those specials ones we talked about with all that time your getting in the man cave :thumbsup: also been waiting to hear from Chris on the deal they were working on that other glow plastic
-
I also was wondering about that other deal? We will definitely have some new secret weapons to put on display for the fish this year.
-
Heading over for a recon trip from Wednesday to Saturday. Everyone is welcome to join if you can make it. Should be some good fishing!
-
Word on the web is there is 7” of ice at Henry’s already and the bite is on! :o
-
Wish I could make it Joe and we have debated the heck out of it but I won't be up until the trip. I'll be on ice just not 5hrs away from home
-
I didn't figure Joe was going to last another 40sum day's! Can't wait to see the ice pish porn! Looks like it's going to be awesome weather. Be super safe and have lots of fun. :icefish:
-
Thanks guys. I will try and get my camera dusted off and kick out a video to open the season very soon. I agree, the weather does look awesome.
-
Got a friend on Henry's today and it's fish on, nailing them fairly regularly 12 hits so far landed 4... 5" of ice, been there less than an hour and only using two rods, one JJ and one active rod... Later J

Here’s a little teaser! https://youtu.be/SsZoU6ms-1E (https://youtu.be/SsZoU6ms-1E)
-
I haven't made it thru the whole video yet Joe but I do have to ask, Is that a gas auger you have with you out there? How much dust did you have to clean off to use that thing? ;D :roflmao:
-

I was very concerned. Especially when the guy next to us couldn’t get his auger started. My buddy that I caught a ride with insisted that we bring his auger. Luckily it ran like a champ. Last year, we left my heater in my car and took his over and I froze my rear end off. I was hoping I didn’t make the same mistake two years in a row only this time with an auger.
-
A 45 min teaser!? How long is the full length feature film!? Only joking Joe! I’m pumped this is a long video!
-
Thanks for the teaser, Joe.
My favorite quotes:
Joe- "Looks like something my ex-wife would cook..."
Quincy (sitting in Joe's pop up)- "he's got everything in here..."
Looking forward to next month.
-
Good video Joe. You have some good one liners!!! Still laughing at them, I cant wait for ice closer to home. I will be at Henrys around Christmas.

Thanks buddy! Sometimes when I edit the videos I wonder what my wife will think. :cookoo:

If I could ever get you to go fishing with me, we could do a full length video. Sure appreciate your support all along the way!

Thanks friend, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I am pooped from such a long trip but I will survive. Made a ton of plastic’s yesterday for next month.
-
Get your rest in Joe there's lots more holes to pull fish out of that's for sure. Count me in for a box of Henry's specials and that fancy gorge one that im not going to let you forget about. Lol
-
Another great video Joe. Gosh, I think I lost count of fish caught somewhere north of 500! That's a lot of sore pish lips ;) Thanks for giving us some hope of fisher days ahead.. ;D
-
Thanks buddy! I do look forward to seeing you very soon. How have the ducks been doing for you? Sounds like Bob is ready to go nuclear on them.
-
Welcome, yup we're definitely excited also. We've been catching a few ducks down here but we sure could use some weather to push some new birds in. I'd imagine Bob will get some revenge when he can. ;)

I have it from a very reliable source that there are tens (hundreds even) of thousands of fowl out on the GSL. With our weather pattern lately, there is no reason for them to move at all during the day. The one day a couple weeks ago when we actually had a cold, WINDY day with snow flurries, two of us shot our limits in about 2 hours during mid day. Last 2 trips were skunks - no shots fired. Ergo, ice fishing. No REAL duck weather in sight for the next 10 days either. Aaaarrrggh!
Oh well, going to Lubbock Texas the week after T-Day for some guided hunts for sand hill cranes and lesser Canada geese. Maybe by the time I get back, the hunting here will have improved. ;D
I may also have to join the crew at Henry's this year if I can get my stuff in tow after my return from Texas.
-
Ok boy’s we are getting close to our trip and can’t wait to get there and catch the big fish
-
Ok we're less than a week out now fellas. Its looking like a few if not most will now be arriving on Thursday which I'm sure Joe will up his arrival by at least 1 day now. LOL regrettably Damon wont be making it so I'll get another email out with the $$ adjustments but it will be what it was the email before last. With the exception of how we split Thursday. Wow I confused myself on that one. I decided to compile a little stroll down memory lane for the 5th annual trip so here we go!!!!

Good times have definitely been had here that's for sure, Thanks for all the good memories everyone and more to come :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :woot: :woot: :icefish: :icefish:
-
Awesome pictures Matt, thanks for posting them up. We're definitely getting excited! ;D :woot: :thumbsup:
-
Very cool. Should be another great trip this year!
-
Knock em dead fellas! I expect updates every 3 minutes or so ;D
-
Great pictures Matt and can’t wait to get up there for a great time
-
Good pics for sure everybody. Started packing the trailer tonight. Boy it's going to be a long week waiting for Thursday. What day is everyone heading out? We're working on Thursday at noon for our crew right now
Knock em dead fellas! I expect updates every 3 minutes or so ;D
:thumbsup:
-
Mike, his son Tanner and myself are heading up Friday morning. We're all excited and definitely looking forward to seeing everyone! :thumbsup: :icefish:
-
Keep the reports coming as you all get into them Friday. There's a slim chance I'll drive up super early Saturday, will just need to drive back same day. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Matt, by posting all those great pics of past years.
-
Looks like we're good for heading out at noon Thursday, the cam at state park is showing at least 6-10in of new snow since Saturday morning. We're taking just the sleds for travel this year for sure. There was some talk of slush being around on the ice but it didn't sound to bad. I suspect the ice conditions will be similar to last year with maybe a little more snow but lots more ice. Last I heard was 9in and I suspect the next couple nights being clear weather should drop the temps quite a bit and add to that number. Its currently 11deg as I type this and was 3deg an hour ago
-
Alright just about 28hrs and its time to get this show going :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :woot: :woot: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish: :icefish:
-
Well everyone drive safe and I'll see you Friday morning, save me a spot on the ice... Later Jeff
-
Last emails out check your inboxs, hopefully!! Don't forget the poker $$$ I will have some change to break down all you high rollers big bills ;D
-
I am going to have to join you all for this trip sometime. Unfortunately I am flying to texas on Saturday. Drive safe and have fun I can't wait to see all of your photos when I get home.
-
It is a fun trip and great spot to get ideas of what your set up is missing, just check out Joe's toy shop and you'll always find something you need yet.... I'm going to have to get a third sled to get my junk on the ice... Later J PS>.. don't tell my wife though..

Yes you do Ryan, we will not be short on any pics that's for sure. Have a safe trip going south.
-
Great conditions on the lake so far. Ice is 12+in. Snow depth varies as does the slush. Great conditions for sleds. Finally nailed a Henry brookie. Lol

Was a lot of fun everyone, thanks for letting me join in and not teasing me too bad for being the low catch guy... Had fun with the ones I did catch though and did catch one football brookie that wouldn't fit in my hand it was so chunky... Guessed it was between 2-3lbs... lot of fun, even Fred the Fox was fun to see... Sure Skyler will post some video's of his new pet... Hope you make it the rest of the way home safe... Later J
-
Sorry I couldn't make it up with the gang this year. It was on my mind all weekend and am looking forward to pics and posts from you all soon. Looking forward to catching up with the gang later in the season at Cascade and the Gorge...and any other chances we get. Did manage to get up to Scofield for just part of Sat...see post in the Scofield feed.
Tight lines....
-
Ok here we go it was a blast we caught a lot of fish I mean a lot of fish pretty much the size of the fish being caught was between 16-18” inches. It was great to see everyone up there and meeting a few new guys. O ya I forgot the new pet frank

Here's a few of the shots I got. Not a ton but some great friends, scenery & couple of fish. I'll clean these up better with imgur pics on Monday
